Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ear acupuncture probe technology, and specifically relates to a multifunctional ear acupuncture probe and a massage rubber sleeve. Background Technology
[0002] Ear acupressure involves applying small, pill-shaped objects, such as vaccaria seeds, to acupoints or reaction points on the auricle with slight pressure, causing the patient to feel soreness, numbness, distension, or heat in the ear. This method aims to unblock meridians, regulate the functions of the internal organs and blood, and promote the body's yin-yang balance, thereby preventing and treating diseases.
[0003] During treatment, it is necessary to first use an ear acupoint probe to locate the acupoints, and then use tweezers to pick up the vaccaria seeds and apply them to the corresponding acupoints. It is necessary to frequently switch between these two operating tools, which is very inconvenient. In addition, some acupoints are located on the inner side of the auricle, which is not easy to locate, and it is also necessary to use an additional bent probe. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a multifunctional ear acupoint probe and massage sleeve, which integrates multiple functions and does not require multiple switching during use. In addition, when used with the massage sleeve, it can also massage acupoints on the ear.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A multifunctional auricular acupuncture probe includes a probe rod, tweezers, and a probe. The tweezers are located at the top of the probe rod, and a turntable is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the probe rod. The probe is connected to the side of the turntable, and multiple slots are formed along the circumferential direction on the side of the turntable. A spring is installed inside the probe rod, and the spring is pressed against the side of the turntable by a limiting rod. Rotating the turntable allows the end of the limiting rod to be inserted into the slot. A slider is provided on the side of the limiting rod, and the slider extends out of the probe rod through a groove formed on the side of the probe rod. Moving the slider can cause the limiting rod to disengage from the slot.
[0007] To better realize this utility model, the above structure is further optimized by providing a telescopic sleeve vertically at the top of the probe rod, which is fitted over the outside of the tweezers.
[0008] To better realize this utility model, the above structure is further optimized by making the end of the limiting rod into an arc shape.
[0009] To better realize this utility model, the above structure is further optimized by uniformly setting three sliding grooves within a 90° angle on the side of the turntable.
[0010] To better realize this utility model, the above structure is further optimized by providing anti-slip texture on the outer side of the probe rod.
[0011] To better realize this utility model, the above structure is further optimized, and the probe tip is a spherical structure.
[0012] A massage sleeve includes a spherical sleeve with a hollow interior and an opening. The sleeve can be fitted onto the probe end of the aforementioned multifunctional ear acupuncture probe through the opening.
[0013] To better realize this utility model, the above structure is further optimized by providing multiple protruding points on the outer side of the rubber sleeve.
[0014] To better realize this utility model, the above structure is further optimized, and the rubber sleeve is made of silicone.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0016] The multifunctional ear acupoint probe provided by this utility model combines the functions of both tweezers and a probe, eliminating the need for frequent switching during use and improving operational convenience. Simultaneously, the probe can be bent at a certain angle to locate acupoints on the inner side of the auricle without the need for other auxiliary tools. Furthermore, the massage sleeve provided in this application can be used in conjunction with the probe. By placing the sleeve over the tip of the probe, massage therapy can be applied to the patient's ear acupoints, alleviating symptoms and improving treatment effectiveness. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Example 1:
[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The multifunctional auricular probe provided in this application includes a probe rod 1, tweezers 2, and a probe 3. The tweezers 2 are located at the top of the probe rod 1, and a turntable 4 is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the probe rod 1. The probe 3 is connected to the side of the turntable 4. The side of the turntable 4 has multiple slots 401 along the circumferential direction. In this embodiment, three sliding grooves 101 are evenly arranged on the side of the turntable 4 within a 90° angle, which can adjust the probe 3 to three different bending angles. In actual use, the corresponding number of sliding grooves can be set according to the situation to adjust the bending angle range.
[0029] A spring 5 is installed inside the probe rod 1. The spring 5 is pressed against the side of the turntable 4 by the limiting rod 6. Rotating the turntable 4 can cause the end of the limiting rod 6 to be inserted into the slot 401. A slider 601 is provided on the side of the limiting rod 6. The slider 601 extends to the outside of the probe rod 1 through the sliding groove 101 opened on the side of the probe rod 1. Moving the slider 601 can drive the limiting rod 6 to disengage from the slot 401.
[0030] Under normal conditions, under the pressure of spring 5, the end of the limiting rod 6 is inserted into slot 401, restricting the rotation of turntable 4 and fixing the position of probe 3. When it is necessary to bend probe 3 and change its angle, slide slider 601 drives limiting rod 6 to compress spring 5, causing limiting rod 6 to move upward and disengage from slot 401. Then, rotate probe 3 to adjust it to the appropriate position, and then release slide slider 601. Under the action of spring, the end of limiting rod 6 is inserted downward into the corresponding slot 401.
[0031] To prevent the tweezers 2 from pricking the user during use, a telescopic sleeve 7 is vertically installed at the top of the probe rod 1. The telescopic sleeve 7 is fitted over the outside of the tweezers 2, so that the tweezers are not always exposed. When using the probe 3, the tweezers 2 are wrapped inside the telescopic sleeve 7 to prevent pricking. The sleeve is only opened when picking up Vaccaria seeds.
[0032] See details Figure 2 The end of the limiting rod 6 has an arc structure, which facilitates the automatic alignment of the end of the limiting rod 6 with the slot 401.
[0033] The probe rod 1 has anti-slip texture on the outside, making it less likely to rotate when gripped. Like most probes, the probe 3 has a spherical end.
[0034] Example 2:
[0035] Please refer to Figure 4 The massage sleeve provided in this application includes a spherical sleeve 10. The sleeve 10 is made of silicone, which is more skin-friendly and reduces irritation. The sleeve 10 has a hollow internal structure and an opening. The sleeve 10 can be fitted onto the end of the probe 3 of the aforementioned multifunctional ear acupuncture probe through the opening. To better stimulate and massage ear acupoints, the outer side of the sleeve 10 is provided with multiple raised points to increase the stimulation intensity on the acupoints.
[0036] When in use, by placing the rubber sleeve 10 on the end of the probe 3, the elastic and soft rubber sleeve 10 can be used to massage the acupoints on the patient's ear, relieve the patient's symptoms, and improve the treatment effect.
[0037] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
